Visita Iglesia 2013

Like many Filipinos, I commemorated this year’s Holy Week with a visit to various churches.  I realized that I wasn’t able to do this last year, so this year it’s a must that I outdo the shortcomings of the previous year.

Another “Perfect” Race: Run United 2

After what seemed like an eternity, I’m finally back to into running.  It had been more than three months since my last race, and I’m glad that Run United 2 was here to kickstart me back into sense.  Here are my accounts of what I thought to be the best Run United leg so far.
